Why should I meditate?

By beginning Heart Rhythm Meditation, coordinating your heartbeat and breath, you will develop and sustain the power to concentrate — the key to accomplishing any goal.

Proceeding, you will resolve the wounds of your emotional heart and discover your greatest qualities and your unique purpose in life. Heart meditation will inspire solutions to your problems, create deeper, closer relationships and expand your influence so that you have more effect upon your world than your world has upon you.

Heart Rhythm Meditation also provides important health benefits, strengthening your immune system and physical heart. By breathing with your heart, you will greatly increase your physical and emotional capacity to handle stress.

Inspiration, self-mastery, joy, fearlessness and peace are among the results of Heart Rhythm Meditation. See more physical, emotional and spiritual benefits.

How is this meditation different?

Heart Rhythm Meditation is an advanced meditation originating 2000 years ago and updated at iamHeart with modern biology and physics.
It is not connected to any one religion or tradition, but it is decidedly western in its approach and philosophy.

Heart Rhythm Meditation produces a cosmic experience described by the phrase: "I am a part of all things and all things are a part of me." We do not seek to become nothing, we seek to become everything.

This heart meditation has the goal of focusing the infinite into the heart center to reconstruct the individual self according to one’s essential template. Heart Rhythm Meditation integrates the body, mind and emotions, producing profound relaxation with increased alertness and central nervous system activity, a powerful, stabilizing pattern of heart rate variability (HRV), and radiant light from the heart.

Heart Rhythm Meditation does not lead to dissociation or detachment. Love is attachment. To integrate all parts of your self, embrace all, don't "let go" of anything. Any part that is denied circulation will become ill, whether a physical or emotional part.

In contrast to heart meditation, transcendent meditation methods lift consciousness above the physical self and environment toward the abstract, infinite, and impersonal. Transcendent methods from Eastern spiritual traditions are designed to produce dissociation, decreased central nervous system activity and unfocused thought. They may result in irregular heartbeats.

Both heart meditations and transcendent meditations have their usefulness, but heart meditations are especially designed to be practical in life. Heart Rhythm Meditation is intended to be applied to your health, relationships, and purposeful accomplishments in the world.

How do I get started?

Unless you are already connected to a group of Heart Rhythm Meditators, it is recommended to start with one of our books, recordings, our free, bi-monthly video broadcasts or our free podcasts. Some people are able to learn and sustain it on their own, but most people need help in mastering the practice.

There are many advantages to sharing Heart Rhythm Meditation with a group, either with or without a teacher. If someone recommended this website to you, you’ve been given a great advantage — you have someone to discuss it with, to share your experiences and questions. We hope you make opportunities to practice together with your friends. Then you’ll find what every meditator finds — the experience is very much stronger in a group than alone.
